I believe short interest should be more limited to 15% max 10 business day holds but then have to cover, I personally think its wrong to short a stock when the company is doing well on the books but on the market they are being pummeled to the point of needing an RS and then they are shorted even more to the point of needing another rs. This is where I believe it becomes criminal, Shorts need

Dear Committee, While efforts to improve transparency are appreciated, I believe there is no mention of dark pools. There needs to be more transparency on shorting going on behind the curtains.

I want in depth reports on short positions for any and every stock on the market. I also want reports on how many of those short positions are on loan as well as the strike numbers for each individual option.

Finra should absolutely be stricter on the frequency and the details reported on shorts and short interest. No company should be getting shorted any more than 75%
Short selling restrictions. They should be forced to cover all short positions weekly if not daily. Market makers and hedge funds should not have the ability to short during pre or after market while most retail investors and the apps used are shackled to not being allowed to buy. Hedge funds should have to report daily their short positions and accurately, they should not be allowed to police
Short sellers should be required to report their short positions daily, of all trades on the lit exchange and the dark pools. Failure to do so should results in forfeiting all profits made and in case of a loss, short sellers should be fined half of the amount they lost, if short sellers continue to not follow the rules fines should increase for 2nd and 3rd offense, after the third strike, a
As a mostly outside observer who has be diving into the inner workings of the mechanics behind short selling, I've noticed that the lack of transparency effectively makes it impossible to determine the overall value of the short positions that exist, along with a lack of information about how many synthetic shares are created and how positions are opening and closing on a regular basis.
